I finally got around to opening my AKB48 Calendar I bought at the theater last week.  It is very nice.  Each week is represented by a member, with a nice sized picture.  And the last two weeks have photos of the Kenkyuusei (Research Students)

Shinoda Mariko:  I know Ray will be happy I got this one.  I think each set came with one "birthday photo".  She is wearing the same Rolling Stones T-shirt she has on in the calendar too.  As she was one of the few Team A members to actually show up when I saw A5, I'm happy with this one.

Oku Manami:  She's good on stage, but I don't find her all that photogenic.  Plus as young as she is, she looks even younger than that!  She's what, 13?  I swear she looks 8!

I don't know how many cards in these calendars are personally signed.  But from what I understand it is pretty rare.  I know I could probably sell it for a decent amount.  But for now I am keeping my new little treasure.

Once again, AKB48 Wins!
